Why teams connect SAP Business ByDesign and TiDB

Give your engineers SAP Business ByDesign's data in TiDB: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Purchase Orders, Opportunities, Projects, Employees from SAP Business ByDesign into TiDB and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever SAP Business ByDesign is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in TiDB sync back into SAP Business ByDesign with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics
  • Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.
  • Sync project and time data with external professional-services tools for billing.

Where SAP Business ByDesign is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in TiDB for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from TiDB back into SAP Business ByDesign, keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query
